What The Hell Do I Do Now?

Secured IBD offer from a top BB for ‘22 (nontarget and nondiversity!). Woke up this morning feeling lost... no urge to send emails or send in applications. Just walked around the house in circles watering plants.

What the hell do I do with my life now? I’ve had one goal for the last two years of college and now don’t know what to do with myself. Don’t even have a sophomore summer internship lined up yet lol.

Update: I think I'll try for CFA level 1/GMAT in senior year?

Managed to get myself into the accelerated process (for targets I'm assuming, my super day zoom room was full of HYP) with the backing of an alum who's an MD. Don't give me MS as if you know better...

 

If you're implying that I'm Mexican, I said above that I'm not diverse in any way (gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation). I may have their work ethic though haha.

If you're telling me to go sleep with a Mexican dude... not gay and also wtf why that's so random lol.
